Audemars Piguet are undoubtedly one of the biggest luxury watch brands in existence with their Royal Oak Offshore collection literally being some of the biggest luxury watches with 42mm cases. 

The ROO was the biggest watch when launched in 1993, and this year it will be expanding with six new models being added, a flash back to their roots and a nod to the ROO case size, named the ‘26470’ family [26470 being the new collection’s reference]. Here is an introduction to the six new watches:

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 2014 Horn Back Strap watches 

These three models have a 42mm stainless steel case fitted with the iconic Royal Oak octagonal bezel with a black/grey/cream ‘Mega Tapisserie’ patterned dial with chronograph and date dials, Arabic numerals and white-gold hands with luminescent coating. 

It also features a tachymeter around the outer dial and a ‘hornback’ alligator strap with coloured stitching that gives them a rugged and daring appearance.

This model has two main colours, rose gold and black giving it a sophisticated and luxurious look. The 42mm case is rose gold with a matching ‘Mega Tapisserie’ rose gold dial with black chronograph dials, date window, Arabic numerals and tachymeter. It also has a regular black alligator strap with gold stitching.
